A new FaithWalk rotation starts this Sunday for children in Grades 1-5. In the rotation “Apostle’s Creed: I Believe,” children will be introduced to the Apostle’s Creed (the accepted affirmation of beliefs for the United Methodist Church) and its three main elements: the Almighty Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Through science, the children will discover three forms of one thing as they explore the mystery of the Holy Trinity. Hands-on activities include an art project depicting the universe (to reinforce the sovereignty of our Creator God) and making Belief Booklets using only colors to tell the story of our faith.
Through drama, the children will review, using props, what Jesus means to our faith, from the manger to the cross, His resurrection, and now. Children will then have the opportunity to make 30-second “I Believe...” commercials, summarizing their own beliefs in a video presentation.
In addition, they will hear (and see) the story of Pentecost (Acts 2) and learn about the invisible power of the Holy Spirit. You won’t want to miss even one week! See you Sunday.
